Fabulous Finds Shopping Spree!

I'm linking up with Elizabeth to show you some Fantastic Finds and a sneak peak into my newly redesigned classroom! Head on over to Fun in Room 4B to link up!

So, I stalked Walmart {3 of them close to where I live} to find these ice bins to use as book bins for my students with Daily 5 Read to Self. I think I ended up with 27 of them! And I got every single one they had {in all 3 stores}! Now to figure out where to house them...

Of course, the Target Dollar section got attacked by me - as always! I found two purple small pocket charts, stamps, dry erase boards with primary writing lines (Daily 5 Word Work), pencils, stickers, and playing cards for math games.

Back at Walmart, I grabbed these two black bean bags. I liked them because they were NOT fabric {lice}, but were a cool plastic material that hopefully won't house any crazy bugs. :)

And to reveal the beautiful baskets that I found at Dollar Tree...I also give you a sneak peak into my newly designed classroom! Check out those baskets...LOVE the bright colors on black! This is a preview. I'll be back with pictures of my entire classroom in the next week or so.

And on to Vista-print. If you haven't played around with this website yet, what are you waiting for? Fabulous finds for cheap! Here are a few of the things I purchased.

These are actually business cards that I made into Fantastic Friday tickets! This is a way to rewarding students for good behavior all week. I got 250 cards for FREE!

10 pieces of letterhead - I smudged my personal information out at the top and at the bottom. Got these for FREE too!

I ordered these to put on the backs of any new books that I purchase for my classroom - FREE!

These are business card sized magnets that I ordered to give to my parents at Open House. I smudged it out but under my name is my email address and phone number. At the bottom I listed the class website link.

Three personalized self-inking stamps...LOVE!

A pen that has my name on it and school's name! Cute and matches my room's pink and lime green color scheme!

This is a close-up of the inside of the pen. Under my name is the name of my school, but I smudged it out. Did I mention this pen was also FREE?

Thank you so much for linking up with me. I love all of your finds. I have those purple pocket charts from the dollar spot, too. You room colors are just like mine. I can't wait to see how everything turns out.Elizabeth

@Amy (the first Amy), the ice buckets were $1.88 plus tax so right at $2.00 each and will be very sturdy. I'm thinking way more sturdy than the cardboard ones so that's what I went with to try out this year. Hope you find some you like :)
